United States and the Middle East: 1914 to 9/11
http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursede...y%20-%20Modern
Not sure if it's available as an actual book. Excellent course anyhow, not too "heavy" and very interesting. It's not a "conspiracy" book, he rather presents the facts leading up to 9 / 11.
I've been working through this course recently:
Long 19th Century: European History from 1789 to 1917

It's pretty interesting but he can get a little to detailed in his political analysis which personally doesn't intrigue me much.
I also read a Swedish biography on Napoleon Bonaparte which was also very good. Napoleon is a very fascinating person.
Another book I've been trying to work through is a pocket book on Stalin, it's not that good though. Too many names to keep track of and he spends a lot of time analyzing his relations to what feels like a million people. Can look up the title if anyone's interested.
I started reading a book on the battle of Stalingrad but again it's a bit too detailed for my taste. Keeping track of the movement of 20 different divisions made me put it on the shelf - maybe I'll finish it one day.
Books I plan on reading:
Some biography on Alexander - anyone got some tips?
History of 20th century Europe.
Overview of the American civil war.
Other books I'm considering reading just for fun:
Mein kampf if I can find a translation
The bible
